License: Where should this post go?

[AnthonyG]

Unsure where to post this; OT, Enabled or General?. New to Spyders. Going up to Idaho in a month with the wife, she on her RT, me on my HD. Here in Kalifornia she is not required to have a M/C license for the Spyder, but not so, I believe, in Nevada or Idaho. DMV will not allow her to get her endorsement on the Spyder as it is not considered a M/C here. She has a mild handicap (with 'D' plates on the RT) and really does not need nor want an M license. Any suggestions (other than to ride clean and stay out of trouble)? Ever been hassled out of state on a Spyder for an M license? We are both, well, 'chronologically gifted' (I hate 'old') and not likely to be taken for nomads, but there is the curiosity factor of the Spyder that might draw unwanted attention. Opinions? Thanks. A.

I was told that if you are 'legal' in the state where you hold a valid drivers license, if you drive into another state, you are legal. It's a different thing if you physically move/residence to another state, then you have 30 days to get 'legal' in your new state where you have residence. But as long as your legal residence is in Kalifornia, you should not be hassled.

That's my understanding but you might check it out for yourself by calling DMV.

I believe SpyderCat is right on. A valid license/endorsement in one state is valid in all as long as you are legal in the state you live in. If you move to another state--then you have to go through whatever process they have.

Thanks

I appreciate all the input, and I will make the trip and expect the best. I would have assumed that all states would have reciprocal license recognition in place, but then remembered the 'marriage license' and 'concealed carry' flaps between states so began to wonder (and got 'the Boss' nervous<G>). If we have any adventures, I'll report back. Again, thanks.

From someone who rode from Missouri to California to Michigan without a license plate (and was never even looked at by a police officer), I'd say don't worry about what your drivers license endorsement is unless you plan on getting pulled over.
